I totally missed the memo on the Meteor Shower. I love those things. Sorry you guys could not see it.

Traveler it is great that you at least got to hang out with your friends.

Sue I am still here. Just been crazy with trying to get back into exercise mode, scedule dr. visits about getting these fibroids removed, and such. But I am here for the long haul. I do need to post more. The weekends are hard for me. LOL But way to go on the loss!!! Woot! Woot! I see the Teens Decade in your near future.

Smith I love fresh salsa and guacamole!!! Amazing taste.

Ali you are doing good on the losses too! Keep it up!

OOOOOOOO ALI you are just about there - being our winner and you getting to a new decade! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Ali06]

Thanks Sue!! So far everytime I've gotten 1 lb away from the challenge then it starts going up!!! lol I sure hope that don't happen this time!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

ALI It sure won't happen.... Just believe you see 329.0! in your mind and then "know" it and it will be there!... I sometimes walk around and keep telling myself.. wow.. I'm "no that I want" today.. I can't believe it.. this is awesome and then.. - it happens and shows up on the scale! MIND is over matter I do believe (and faith) ! I believe in YOU!

Happy Friday!! off to work - well at least the last day of the week whoo hah!

[Mara]

Well still the same on the scale, but hopefully once TOM is over it will cooperate.

Sue I hope the swelling goes away. That is always an uncomfortable. I bet tomorrow will be a good show in the scale once the water whooshes.

Ali you have got this. You are going to win this challenge!

Sue- no telescope yet. This was our first meteor shower. We read that we were supposed to be able to see it without one. We were also thinking about August. Do you have a telescope? Any recommendations for new star watchers on a strict budget?

Ali- I agree...I think you got this one.

Smith- The green berry smoothie sounds interesting.

Mara- weekends are rough for me as well. We are having a lot of visitors this summer and I feel bad being on a diet when they get here. It seems like it is a little vacation for all of them and it should come with ice cream and fun treats.

Mara... I hope the doctor can also take care of the problem too.... and with TOM comes the WOOSH!

Traveler... No scope needed for the meteor shower.. I just like taking it out to see the Globular Clusters (M3 & M5) and then Scorpio and Sagitarius came up and they have alot of Globular Star clusters.. I melted when I saw Omega Centauri ahhhhh you can see that in the very low southern sky around 1:00 am or so for a month... Go straight down from the star Spica and there it is! Telescopes.. shoot.. we have a member giving away a Celestron 8 inch.. giving it away!.. but if you could find yourself a nice Reflector - Dobsonian type.(Orion co. good place to look!). you could get a 8 inch scope for around $400 then need to buy just 2 eye pieces... oh what wonders you can see!

Starting FAT FAST today! OOO Mondays weight might just be a YEHAW!!

Kat Can.... Welcome and very glad you are joining us!

To start.. just post your starting weight and then your goal weight would be 5 lbs less. Weigh as often as you wish. I weigh daily, but some weigh weekly. It is totally up to you.. BUTTTTTTTTTTTT ------ The first person to lose 5 lbs WINS this challenge and gets to start the next one and gets their name on the thread header as the winner! SO Come on in and post away and lose lose lose (weight that is.. not the challenge!)
